Definitions

  • the invention relates to a monopulse small radar according to the Preamble of claim 1.
  • the training form of a broadcaster is generally known Shape of an oscillator. He gives part of his performance via coupler to two mixers. In addition, the transmitter and the mixers are directly coupled to primary antennas. This arrangement is suitable for continuous wave applications (e.g. FM-CW) and ensures good channel separation. With help The radiated antenna lobes become a secondary antenna placed so that they overlap. With known Amplitude monopulse methods can be compared by the destination storage can be determined for both reception channels. Such arrangements have already been made with conventional waveguides built up, leading to large-scale arrangements leads.
  • the invention is based on the object, a monopulse small radar to create what is conventional Radar equipment turns out much more compact, as well has a very high immunity to interference.
  • the object is achieved in that two Mixer and an oscillator, each one with the other and are connected to an antenna on a substrate are trained. Furthermore, the mixer and the Oscillator each placed a waveguide.
